Disclaimer~ I don't own Austin and Ally, I Didn't Do It, or Let Her Go by Passenger. Forgot to put one of these stupid disclaimer thingys on the last one so here ya go! Onto ze story...


Austin's POV~

"Pipes, please don't make me choose. I really like you but I also love my music." I explaining while having an internal debate.

(Regular-Austin's Thoughts Italics- Austin's Conscience)

I really want to be with Piper but my music is just as important.

I don't think it is.

What do you mean?

You just told Piper that you really like her but you love your music. Music is more important than her. You just said it.

But I didn't mean it like that. I love them both equally.

Nope. You said that you really like her. You've NEVER even said or thought about telling Piper you love her. But in a heartbeat, you'd say you love your music. We all know what decision you should make. Don't even try to argue with me. We all know it's true.

Fine. You know I hate you conscience.

Hey. Don't hate the messenger. I'm speaking what you really feel.

Just leave me alone and don't come back.

Oh, I'll be back. I have a feeling you'll need me in Chicago.

Whatever.

"Look Austin. You just said it for me. You love your music but you only like me. I'm pretty sure this is over. Bye, Austin. I'll see you next year." She said while letting go of my hands to get up and leave.

"No Pipes! Please don't go!" I beckoned after her.

"Don't call me Pipes anymore." She said as she left with a simple wave. I can't believe I just lost my girlfriend. I sadly trekked back home after my unsuccessful date with Pipes-I mean...Piper.


That Night at Ally's House

Ally's POV~

Ding-Dong! Oh, that must be Trish! I ran downstairs to open up the door for my raven haired best friend. Tonight, we are having a sleepover just me and her. We have lots to talk about! Like her and Jace and me and Austin! I mean me and Gavin! Not me and Austin! Austin and I may have dated but it's not like I still like him or anything! He's just my best friend who is absolutely sexy, talented, and has an unhealthy obsession with pancakes. Who am I kidding! Yeah, I still like Austin but I can't be with him because he's dating some girl named Piper. All I know is he call her Pipes all the time and it's extremely annoying. I just wish we would've worked our relationship out. But I'm with Gavin now and I'm happy with Gavin. He's so sweet and we have so much in common; it's unbelievable! Being in a relationship with him has been just the best. Of course, I miss my relationship with Austin but being with Gavin is well...almost just as great.

"Let me in already!" yelled Trish interrupting my thinking.

"Oh sorry. Come on in." I said as I opened the door.

"It took you long enough!" Trish said while making her grand entrance followed by three guys carrying luggage upon luggage.

"Um..Trish? You do know you're only staying tonight, right?"

"I know but I can never be too prepared."

"Ok..whatever you say. I'd hate to see what you bring to Chicago when we stay for a year. You're parents said you could go though, right?" I said as we made our way to my room.

"Yeah. They were cool with it. I just told them I had to go because I'm Austin's manager. I haven't told Jace about it though. I hope he doesn't act the same way Piper did with Austin though." Trish said as we plopped down on my bed.

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't hear?!"

"Um..no! Tell me!"

"Austin and Piper broke up!"

"What! Why?"

"She said she was tired of him putting his music career before her and she told him to choose! And of course, he chose his music...but I think there was another reason behind it..."

"Oh my goodness! This is terrible! I feel so bad for him! Wait..hold up. What do you think this "other reason" is?"

"Ally! Isn't it obvious!"

"No it isn't! I wouldn't be asking you right now if it was obvious!"

"It's probably because Austin still has feeling for you!"

"What! But I'm dating Gavin and he knows that. He told me he was ok with me and Gavin being together."

"Well I'm not so sure he meant that. You know that extremely long hug you guys shared today at the meeting."

"Um..well..yeah. What about it?" I said nervously.

"Yeah. That hug was full of feelings that most people who "claim" they're "just friends" don't normally share."

"Look Trish. Trust me when I say Austin and I are. just. friends. Yeah, we may have dated before and we work great together as partners but that doesn't mean that there's something deeper going on. I mean I'm with Gavin and he's dating- well was dating Piper and they really liked each other. The same way me and Gavin both really like each other."

"Whatever you say Ally. You guys are my best friends and I know when something deeper is going on. I can't stand hearing you say that you guys are just friends. I understand how you guys are with other people or were with other people. It doesn't matter but anyways, it DOES NOT change the fact that you guys still have feelings for each other. I mean c'mon Ally. Be completely honest with me. Do you even have the slightest feelings for him?"

"Pshh..what?!" I said while my voice climbed octaves higher.

"You heard me, Ally. We both know that you still like Austin and you may not realize this but he likes you too. Whether the feelings are just small and lingering or passionate and strong. It doesn't change the fact that you guys do like each other. It's like you guys are friends with exclusive yet appropriate benefits."

"Whatever floats your boat, Trish." I chuckled and we continued to talk about things like my interview the next day and Chicago. I couldn't help stop thinking about what Trish said though. I mean is it really that obvious that I still have feelings for Austin? I didn't think so but maybe my feelings are obvious. I just hope Gavin doesn't realize it. I feel so bad for dating him while I still have feelings for Austin but I really like Gavin too. Why does this have to be so confusing?


Austin's POV~

I didn't get any sleep last night. I was up the entire time thinking about breaking up with Piper and what I'm going to do with myself. I can't go to Chicago tomorrow like this. That's why I'm heading over to Sonic Boom so I can go work on some music. Music is the one thing that can get me through any situation.

Once I got to Sonic Boom, I was expecting to see Ally but then I remembered she had an interview so she'd be there later. I made my way to the music room and began working on a song.

Well you only need light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only now you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you go

And you let her go

I've gotta let Piper go, even though it's nearly one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I was thinking to myself and I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." I said quietly. The door slowly opened to reveal Ally standing there. I was surprised she was back so soon from her interview.

"Um..hey Austin. I heard the song you're working on. It sounds really good." Ally said while slowly walking towards me.

"Thanks. Yeah, it kind of just came to me. I guess it just expressed what I'm feeling inside." I said glumly.

"Look, Austin. I know you're feeling really bad about what happened between you and Piper but look on the bright side. You're still going to Chicago tomorrow and you're going to be on one of the biggest talent shows in the country! I know that you really liked Piper and all but honestly I think she was holding you back." Her words stung badly. So badly that they angered me.

"Well that's easy for you to say! You have a boyfriend who isn't holding you back at all! You haven't lost anyone who's really important to you and I have...multiple times." I muttered the last few words quietly.

"You're right, Austin. Sorry for getting involved; I'll just be leaving now." Ally said as she got up from the seat she recently took beside me.

"NO! Don't go!" I called after her and she looked at me weirdly. " I...I...m-mean...let's talk about your interview with Cheetah Beat." She walked back towards me slowly and took her unoccupied seat back.

"Well... it was good. They asked about Gavin and I and I told them that we were dating. Not like you and me! Um...but like me and Gavin. Yeah, because them thinking that you and me were together would be just crazy."

"Yeah, totally crazy. So what else did you guys talk about?" I asked avoiding the subject of Ally and I dating.

"We talked a little about some of my new music and my appearance in Armand Bianchi's fashion show but that's pretty much it."

"Well that sounds cool." I said and their was an awkward silence.

"Austin, I really am sorry about what I said early. You know I always have your back in everything you go through. I feel really bad about upsetting you." She said as she solemnly hung her head.

"It's honestly ok, Ally." I said while lifting her chin. "And I'm glad you really are there for me. I hope you know that I'll always be by your side also." We both started leaning closer and closer. Oh my god what am I doing?! I can't kiss Ally! I mean she's still dating Gavin and I literally just broke up with Piper. I really miss being able to kiss her though. So I continued to lean in and our lips were centimeters apart when the door to the music room started to open. Swiftly, we jumped apart just as...oh no...Gavin walked in. I hope he didn't see anything!

"There y'all are! I've been looking all over the place for ya!" Gavin said way too friendly. Boy, do I hate his stupid southern charm.

"Oh hey Gavin!" Ally said completely disregarding the moment we just had.

"Hey Alls! I've got some great news!" Gavin said as him and Ally hugged tightly.

"Oh what is it?!" Ally said excitedly as she pulled away from their hug.

"Well I was helping at the local soup kitchen earlier today and I received a very exciting call!" Of course, he was doing something for the community. "I'm going to be hosting and performing on Chicago's Got Talent!"

No. Freaking. Way.
